They were thinking about placing him in a foster home.That all seemed like water under the bridge when her taxi pulled up tothe high-rise building for...her meeting with her stepmother's attorney.She felt a lump in her throat as the elevator reached the floor of theattorney's office."Ms. Meggs, Ms. Lawrence is expecting you," the receptionist said.She walked down the hallway, where a woman in her 50s waited for her."You must be Amanda?" the woman said. "I'm Julie Lawrence. Come in andhave a. I'll show them to you after lunch."Over lunch they had filled each other in on their lives; she'd told him about her husband Howard and her two kids and he told her that he'd never married, was in software sales, and was in town to close a big sale."In fact" he said, "You can help me close the deal."Curious, she asked him what he meant by that."After lunch" he'd said, "I want it to be a surprise."In the car after leaving the restaurant she had asked,"Where's my surprise?"Brad had reached into. "This just has to be trouble," and it was."Tommy, it's Jill, can you come to the restaurant now?" What's wrong Jill?"I was already getting out of bed."Polly thought it would be good for us to take an "E" each you know." No Jill, I don't bloody know, what the hell did you do that for?"She started crying and I immediately regretted my outburst.Belinda was watching me and saw the worry on my face, but I could hardly bear to look at her."Right stay, where are you, I'll come straight there?" I'm. It was again clear when he entered her by the sound she made, the look on her face, and the way she clutched for him. She pulled him close to her; all the way in. They laid there together for a few minutes as she adjusted to his size, and Judy started to enjoy the reality of the mental fantasies we always shared. Five minutes or more passed. Jack whispered something in Judy's ear, she nodded, and he climbed off her, tolk her by the hand, and lead her from the hot tub to the bed. I could now.
